Summary: | Mining is one of the technology processes which significantly affect the environment. Contemporary science is
often focused on renewable resources, but non renewable resources and their mining are also present and deserve more
intense research, due to its complex role in the economy. On the other point of view, non renewable resources as mining
products are necessary to maintain and improve the life quality level. This conflict is not sustainable in long term
perspective. From the aspect of sustainable development the primary task is to ensure the development right for future
generations. It means that intensive level of interdisciplinary research is necessary to provide initial conditions
(available reserve of ore) and utilization dynamic of mineral resources. This paper analyzes some aspects of
correlation between sustainable development and mining. Mathematical model that describes the mentioned ideas is
developed in this manuscript, including the conflict of economic goals, principles of environmental protection and
sustainable development.
